    Terahertz quantum-cascade lasers for high-resolution absorption spectroscopy of atoms and ions in plasmas
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2023) Lü, X.; Röben, B.; Biermann, K.; Wubs, J.R.; Macherius, U.; Weltmann, K.-D.; van Helden, J.H.; Schrottke, L.; Grahn, H.T.
    We report on terahertz (THz) quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) based on GaAs/AlAs heterostructures, which exhibit single-mode emission at 3.360, 3.921, and 4.745 THz. These frequencies are in close correspondence to fine-structure transitions of Al atoms, N+ ions, and O atoms, respectively. Due to the low electrical pump power of these THz QCLs, they can be operated in a mechanical cryocooler in continuous-wave mode, while a sufficient intrinsic tuning range of more than 5 GHz is maintained. The single-mode operation and the intrinsic tuning range of these THz QCLs allow for the application of these lasers as radiation sources for high-resolution absorption spectroscopy to determine the absolute densities of Al atoms, N+ ions, and O atoms in plasmas.
